No question, Tull's Thick As A Brick.

I have a first pressing Reprise MS-2072, in mint condition, and it's awesome. That has to be the most creative album artwork ever. I've never seen anything that compared to it.

Sorry, but I don't have any thumbnails to attach but just a few comments...I always thought Todd Rundgreen and Uriah Heep had some pretty thought provoking album covers but then some of those mentioned above are creative in there design unfortunately damn hard to get into i.e. Elton John Honky Tonk Chateau..a

Always thought Megadeth's Youthanasia was a good one - hanging babies out to dry, and Malmsteen's Trilogy, fighting off the hydra with a guitar... only in an 80s movie :P

And Frank Zappa was the man!
